Psalmi 124

1 Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

2 če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

3 tedaj [bi] nas žive požrli, ko je bil njihov bes vžgan zoper nas,

Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

4 tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

6 Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.

Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

7 Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.

Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

8 Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
